Insertion lines from this collection were assessed for inclusion in the Gene Disruption Project collection.
A set of mutant stocks derived by insertional mutagenesis using the P-element construct P{PZ}; most lines have a lethal or sterile phenotype. The P{PZ} construct carries a ry[+] visible marker, Ecol\lacZ enhancer trap sequences, and bacterial sequences that allow plasmid rescue.
Location 2R:8273427-8273428 confirmed by FlyBase alignment of dbGSS accession AQ026399 to D. melanogaster arm Release_4 and heterochromatin Release_3.2b.
8 bp insertion associated host repeat;slightly different insertion sites for P{PZ}ox1 are annotated in GB:AF017783 and indicated in FBrf0131290.
